I have observed that in a 3 zone deployment (A, B, C), if:

Zone A loses connectivity to C
B retains connectivity to both
Gateway at A sends data to both A, and B (ensuring write-quorum)
B will send the data to C with a resync
A and C both then report resync errors as they have no way to communicate

However all three zones have their requisite blocks, whilst the full mesh should be there normally - it may be useful to have some way for C to inform A (through B) that all blocks are accounted for.

Hi, sorry for not answering this earlier. I'm classifying this as low priority, as it doesn't impact Garage's correctness or stability. I'll see what I can do if I have time, but fixing this entirely could end up being a lot of work.
